FILE - This May 17, 2013 file photo shows Rep. Diane Black, R-Tenn. speaking on Capitol Hill in Washington.

Black, the main sponsor of the bill said: This bill would protect American taxpayers from the staggering amount of fraud and abuse in Obamacare exchanges, (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak, File)
